The Brian Farm[3][6] is an American Civil War area of the Gettysburg Battlefield used during the Pickett's Charge.

After the battle the house walls were filled with bullet holes, windows were broken, and the furniture was tossed about.

[12] The 1883 Gettysburg Cyclorama (which was made in conjunction with William H. Tipton photographs) has a painted image of the house.

[13][14][15] The last inhabitant was Ernest Strickhouser in 1940,[13] c. 1950 the 2-story farm house was demolished, and a 1-story reproduction of the Civil War structure was built.

The Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association acquired a 19th-century right-of-way and built a carriage road between the house and barn--Grand Central Avenue (now Hancock Avenue) was Telfordized (paved) shortly after GBMA lands transferred to the War Department before the turn of the century.
